I’m so confused, I’m 3 weeks post op. I’m back to work and working hard to sip my water but I’m only taking in like 250 calories a day! Is this normal? Anyone have any tips?

I struggled with getting enough calories in the first several weeks. Still have days, that I barely get in 500-600 just because I am not hungry. Try a couple of protein shakes a day...@150-180 calories each, that will give you at least 300+, plus, it will count toward your fluid total. Good Luck!

I agree with Luna Girl, protein or meal replacement shakes were the only way I could reach my protein goals and get around 600 calories a day in the beginning.
Everyone is different but I felt very tired and dizzy if I didn’t get in at least 600 calories a day.
